By: LazerKim Here’s an update posted yesterday pertaining Kim Hyun Joong’s up coming drama City Conquest and in celebration of Hyun Joong’s fan club to be held in Japan on Oct.4. This is a good news as we will have a chance to take a glimpse of Hyun Joong at last after over a month in the hiding!! But as Hyun Joong said, we should not complain since he is in the process of preparing for City Conquest promotion. Here’s that news.

NHK is especially paying close attention to City Conquest, organizing a special team to create a documentary for the series.

Finally, we’ll get the chance to at least watch Hyun Joong very soon, that will be next week. A fan asked me, how long are we going to experience such boredom?? Before I can reply to her I got this news and send it to her yesterday! At least this is sooner than the first schedule of appearances Hyun Joong will have on January. At last, I’ll be able to watch him walking at the airport lobby to fly to Japan again, as my favorite scenario and video clip to watch!! This is all I can say, it’s high time Hyun Joong has to get out of his cocoon and I honestly do hope City Conquest would make a lot of noise and we fans at the internet I think has to help each other in making that noise even louder.
Yesterday as I was browsing I came across a write-up dated July 26, 2012, that I would like to react. Although the name Kim Hyun Joong was not mentioned in this write-up, but since Kpop and Korean wave was mentioned which Hyun Joong is tagged as Kpop idol I would like to rebut and share my opinion pertaining this write up. Here it goes.
“Japanese TV network no longer interested in airing K-Pop due to low ratings and lack of interest.” (Source > http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/4069136.html)
The day of K-Pop’s demise is getting closer. Whispers have begun to leak out of Fuji TV, one of the driving forces behind K-Pop in Japan, saying, “We cannot get ratings with this at all,” signaling a beginning in the dismantling of the Hanryu.
Starting with the scandal of actor Takao Sosuke criticizing Fuji TV for creating the Korean boom by force in Japan, unpleasant feelings towards the wave as well as K-Pop started forming, centered online. With these feelings growing stronger, K-Pop acts KARA and Supernova saw their concert in Hyogo prefecture cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Even still, TV networks are trying to push the “K-POP BOOM” as always, but it’s getting to the point where the lack of popularity is becoming hard to hide.
Finally, talk from within Fuji TV itself lamenting the lack of popularity of K-Pop currently have leaked. ”Now if a K-Pop idol goes on a TV show, honestly the numbers seem to fall. KARA and Shojojidai’s decline in ratings is not as bad, but those groups with names no one knows have a real problem with ratings. Their staffs seem greatly perplexed. It seems that the day that K-Pop and the Korean Wave won’t be heard from again is coming soon,” said one Fuji TV employee.
As this authorized person said, it’s been clear that TV shows have been pulling back on K-Pop related programming. For example, last year’s “Natsu ga Kita!! HEY! HEY! HEY! Odaiba ‘Nama’ no Uta Matsuri” special featured multiple Korean idols groups, both popular artists and unknowns. However, this time the only one appearing will be Tohoshinki.This year’s “FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri” will also not be featuring Korean idols.
One person related to a major network said, “Asahi TV, who does ‘Music Station’ recently decided to distance themselves from K-Pop. Besides the necessary Korean artists, they won’t be allowing K-Pop idols on the show. They just don’t get the ratings, and the network is getting flack from viewers online so it has to be like this.”
There are quite a few artists aiming to have a hit in Japan, but it seems the situation has gotten stricter. ~END~

LazerKim View Point
I already felt some irregularities during the time Hyun Joong launched his album Heat, that I thought I was just imagining things, that news about his success was being or trying to suppressed by the Japanese media. His album Heat was sold out in Tokyo, but there was no news about it, until Hyun Joong mentioned it in his interview before his concert in Saitama Arena started. This is not hearsay, I read a news that the news from Japanese media was indeed suppressed during the time Hyun Joong kept hitting the Oricon. But did not succeed since there were a number of international media at Hyun Joong’s tail and released the news of Hyun Joong’s success.
Although in this write-up it did not mention the name Kim Hyun Joong, but considering Kpop was mentioned and Korean wave was mentioned I can’t help but rebut to this write-up since Hyun Joong is one of the Kpop artists. With all due respect to the writer of that blog, if this write-up was posted at the internet, then I get the same right to say my piece since this is my blog therefore I can express whatever my thoughts are.
This write-up made me even think and conclude how insecure the Japanese celebs are. This Japanese actor Takoa Sosuko who criticized Fuji TV for airing Kpop and for creating Korean Boom. I would like to say Mr.Takoa Socuko is the top notch INSECURE actor I have ever read!! Is he now trying to put up negatives on Kpop artists? Why? Is it because he knew that Korean dramas are much much better than his, that he could not accept it? With all due respect I would just like to ask those questions.
If the Japanese government allowed the Kpop idols to market in Japan, why would this actor deprive the Kpop artists, and I mean it all of the Kpop artists to have their chance and trying to conceal their success. How would I be expected to believe such write-up if we have seen with our own eyes how Hyun Joong being a Kpop idol made a huge success in July, that not even their own Oricon record would deny as he top the rank and swept away Yamapi who is a Jpop idol. Why can’t this Japanese actor and the TV network mentioned in the write-up to play it fair and square, instead of suppressing the facts about the success of others?
This is just so frustrating that made me think, considering that actor is also an artist and a veteran one, who does not have a heart to the young artists regardless of their nationality. He should be one to encourage, to inspire and support the rookies. But what was he doing, for the future generation of showbiz world? He should site the good example and maybe he will even be able to win his popularity for being unselfish to the young ones. May I beg your indulgence my dear readers but this is getting out of hand. I think everyone is entitled for a chance, these young artists has to start from somewhere, why would they be deprived?
And to those anti-Kpop, we have our own individual choice whom we want to support among all artists of different nationalities. What do you care if others may support the Kpop artists? Why does it bother you? Can’t you just at least respect other’s choice? Did any of the fans of Kpop ever cared whom you liked? If you dislike the Kpop, then fine, what do you get out of criticizing others? I’m just asking, may I just clarify.
There are thousands of Japanese fans of Kim Hyun Joong in Japan who are overly eager to see him sing and dance on stage, they are so eager to watch his dramas and I would like to say, these fans will do anything in their power just to see Kim Hyun Joong. The more the news about his success has been suppressed, the more they are likely to go against these negative moves.
This write-up and suppressing the news, these I think are desperate moves of losers. I’m already having this impression about the Japanese media and this senior actor who’s trying to take control. I wonder if this is the same guy whom I watched at YouTube complaining about the airing of Korean dramas who looks cheap in his accusations. These people can do whatever pleases them even to the extent of destroying others. But I would just like to remind these people that “you can never put a good man down.”
Just a good example, I was assuming Japanese TV network may be hesitant to promote his album Heat, and so Hyun Joong came directly to his fans at Odaiba to meet them in person to acknowledge and thank them for their support. Can the Japanese TV network deny that huge crowd? Can they deny even their own record at the Oricon? Can they deny the Japanese fans who attended his concert in Saitama? As I mentioned in my recent article this news can not be kept in the treasure chest and throw it in any side of Japan sea. The truth will always prevail.
I believe the fans of Kim Hyun Joong are resourceful and I believe we fans are good in spreading the words, we can just keep active at the internet in posting about Hyun Joong’s activities. Being the fans of Kim Hyun Joong, these are the challenges that we have to face since Hyun Joong continue to boost his popularity. Knowing this guy, he will do anything to reach out for his fans. Many of Hyun Joong fans are very active in sharing and posting updates, photos and videos of his every activities. I’m proud of these fans that I’m so thankful to them in keeping us updated, and surely would continue doing so in the upcoming events for Hyun Joong’s City Conquest.
Well aliens, we have now a new insect from a different species which is quite unexpected but we have to live with them! We don’t simply give up without a fight of course, and I think the best way we can do it is by spreading the words of Hyun Joong’s event activities and spread the words about his success. We just have to make sure that every single fan is being informed about his activities. Ignore the negatives, and turn them out into positive. I’m simply bringing up this matter about that write-up just for awareness to all of us about what is going on in Japan in terms of Kpop popularity and that includes Kim Hyun Joong as a Kpop artist.
Anyway, the Korean media and other international media are aware of what is going on, they are aware of Hyun Joong’s every activities, so I would assume the Japanese fans and so with us international fans, would be well informed about the events. No local TV coverage? Fine, the internet is always there to provide everyone’s needs, and besides other international fans would only be just around watching Hyun Joong and the Japanese fans from afar. If there’s a will there is always a way. No one can deprive Hyun Joong’s fans in supporting him, no one can control his growing popularity not only in Japan and so with the of the countries worldwide.
My dear readers I know some of you would like to read good news about Kim Hyun Joong, but I can not lie about reality, that I would just like everyone to be aware that such things do happen in Japan or even from other countries he had visited that we may not be aware of. But then bad intentions never succeed or if it does, it will only backlash to the person who have such intent. A tree that bears good fruits is likely to be stoned down.
There is no doubt Hyun Joong is one of the hottest Kpop star and he is bound to be envied by others. This is natural in showbiz or to any successful profession. As always we fans shall defend and protect the Prince, while we keep our love and support to Hyun Joong. We start spreading the news about Kim Hyun Joong and we start posting this news about City Conquest and its activities in Oct.4 in Japan, making sure that every single fan is being informed worldwide.
I strongly believe that Hyun Joong’s Japanese fans are matured and they can not just be persuaded by negatives and believe such write-ups. And I strongly believe Kim Hyun Joong is still bound to gain more fans as time goes. Once the Prince Conquer a heart, it stays within his magic spell and no one can break that spell…
